Hello Experts,

I have received the ITA after much await and I'm now scanning to upload my documents on the CIC website. However, on certain documents I've noticed my name is different. Passport has the format <'First Name' 'Father's Name' 'Last Name'>, Birth Certificate shows just my 'First Name' only and mentions my parents full names under different tab, some education documents have the format <'Last Name' 'First Name' 'Father's Name' 'Mother's Name'>, work related documents has just my First and Last name. There are no spelling errors in any of them, just the arrangement of the names are different. Will that be a problem? If yes, then any solution? Please help....

much thanks

If only arrangement is different then absolutely no issue,
but, If there is a difference in the spelling, then you should get an affidavit.

What if the names are not all there?
Eg in some documents its <firstname><fathers name><surname>
In some only <firstname> and <surname>
And in some <firstname> and <fathersname>

However in my passport it is <firstname> <middlename><fathers name><surname>

And my middle name is not used in any other documents!
Someone has recommended to get a name affidavit done.

Hi,

I have the same question. My passport says <first name> <last name> but my educational documents says <last name> <first name> <father’s name>.

Is that okay? Or any affidavit is needed for that?
